They make your documents dynamic — allowing signers to fill in details like names, dates, numbers, checkboxes, or digital signatures directly within the document.
Widgets help you:
**Widgets help you:**
- Create fillable and interactive documents
- Control the type of input signers can provide (text, date, number, etc.)
- Ensure data consistency and validation
- Streamline form completion and signing workflows
OpenSign offers various widget types such as **Signature**, **Initial**, **Text**, **Date**, **Checkbox**, **Stamp**, and now the newly added **Number Widget** — each designed for specific use cases.

The **Number Widget** in **OpenSign** allows you to collect numeric input from signers within your document — such as phone numbers, invoice totals, employee IDs, or any other numerical values.
# 🧮 Number Widget
This widget ensures that only **numbers** can be entered, helping maintain data accuracy and consistency in your signed documents.
The **Number Widget** in **OpenSign** lets you collect numeric input from signers within your document.
It can also perform **dynamic calculations** using values from other number widgets.
This widget ensures that only **numbers** are entered, helping maintain data accuracy and consistency across signed documents.

## 🔹 Purpose
Use the **Number Widget** when you need signers to input strictly numerical data during the signing process.
Use the **Number Widget** when you need signers to input strictly numeric data during the signing process.
Its ideal for:
- Numeric IDs (e.g., Employee ID, Order Number)
- Contact numbers
- Amounts or values
- Zip/Postal codes
- Quantity or count fields
- Numeric IDs (e.g., Employee ID, Order Number)
- Amounts or currency values
- Quantity or item counts
- Zip/Postal codes

| **Property** | **Description** |
|---------------|-----------------|
| **Label** | Adds a name or description for the field (e.g., *Enter Invoice Number*). |
| **Placeholder** | Displays a hint or example inside the field before the signer types (e.g., *12345*). |
| **Default Value** | Pre-fills the field with a number (optional). |
| **Required** | Makes the field mandatory for the signer to complete before submission. |
| **Read-Only** | Displays the number but prevents editing by the signer. |
| **Validation** | Ensures only numbers are entered — no alphabets or special characters are allowed. |
| **Name** | A unique identifier for this number widget. <br>• Example: `number-1`, `number-2` <br>• Must be unique within the document. <br>• Used in formulas as `{{number-1}}`. <br>🔸 *If you include a number widget in a formula, its name must be unique, since formulas rely on these identifiers.* |
| **Default Value** | (Optional) Sets an initial numeric value for the widget. This value appears automatically unless changed by the signer or overridden by a formula. |
| **Formula** | Defines a calculation using other number widgets.|
| **Required / Optional** | Specifies whether the signer must complete the field before submission. |
| **Placeholder** | Displays hint text before input (e.g., *12345*). |

## 📄 Example Use Case
## 🔢 Using Formulas in the Number Field
**Scenario:**
Youre sending a purchase order form where the vendor needs to enter a **quotation amount**.
Add a **Number Widget** labeled “Quotation Amount” and mark it as **Required**.
This ensures the vendor provides a valid numeric value before submitting the signed document.
You can use number widgets to perform **arithmetic and algebraic calculations** inside the **Formula** field.
Assume you have four number widgets named:
`number-1`, `number-2`, `number-3`, and `number-4`.

## 💡 Tips
### 🧩 Basic Formulas
- Use the **Number Widget** for fields where accuracy is critical — such as payment amounts or IDs.
- Combine with **Text** or **Date Widgets** to create comprehensive forms.
- Avoid using the **Number Widget** for formatted data (e.g., currency symbols, percentages). For such cases, predefine formatting in the document.
| **Formula** | **Description** | **Example Result** |
|--------------|-----------------|--------------------|
| `{{number-1}} + {{number-2}}` | Adds two numbers | 10 + 5 = **15** |
| `{{number-1}} - {{number-3}}` | Subtracts one number from another | 20 - 4 = **16** |
| `{{number-1}} * {{number-2}}` | Multiplies two numbers | 6 * 3 = **18** |
| `{{number-1}} / {{number-2}}` | Divides one number by another | 25 / 5 = **5** |
| `({{number-1}} + {{number-2}}) * {{number-3}}` | Groups values using parentheses | (4 + 6) * 2 = **20** |
| `{{number-1}} + {{number-2}} - ({{number-3}} * {{number-4}})` | Combines multiple operations | 10 + 8 - (2 * 3) = **12** |

## 🔐 Output in Final Document
### 🧮 Advanced Formulas
Once signed, the numeric input appears exactly as entered in the signed PDF, maintaining consistent alignment and formatting.
| **Formula** | **Description** | **Example Result** |
|--------------|-----------------|--------------------|
| `({{number-1}} + {{number-2}} + {{number-3}}) / 3` | Calculates the average of three widgets | (10 + 20 + 30) / 3 = **20** |
| `({{number-1}} * {{number-2}}) + ({{number-3}} / {{number-4}})` | Combines multiplication and division | (5 * 6) + (8 / 4) = 30 + 2 = **32** |
| `({{number-1}} + {{number-2}}) * ({{number-3}} - {{number-4}})` | Multiplies a sum by a difference | (10 + 5) * (6 - 2) = 15 * 4 = **60** |
| `({{number-1}} * {{number-2}} * {{number-3}}) / {{number-4}}` | Calculates a scaled ratio | (2 * 3 * 4) / 2 = 24 / 2 = **12** |
| `({{number-1}} + {{number-2}} + {{number-3}} + {{number-4}}) / 4` | Finds the average of four widgets | (8 + 10 + 12 + 14) / 4 = **11** |
| `{{number-1}} * ({{number-2}} + {{number-3}} - {{number-4}})` | Weighted total | 5 * (10 + 4 - 2) = 5 * 12 = **60** |
| `({{number-1}} + {{number-2}})^2 / {{number-3}}` | Squares the sum and divides by another widget | (4 + 6)^2 / 5 = 100 / 5 = **20** |
| `({{number-1}} * {{number-2}} + {{number-3}}) * {{number-4}}` | Compound operation using addition and multiplication | (3 * 4 + 2) * 5 = (12 + 2) * 5 = **70** |
| `({{number-1}}^2 + {{number-2}}^2) / ({{number-3}} + {{number-4}})` | Sum of squares divided by total | (3² + 4²) / (2 + 1) = (9 + 16) / 3 = **8.33** |

## 🧠 Tips
- Use **parentheses `( )`** to control calculation order.
- Formulas follow **standard arithmetic precedence** (multiplication/division before addition/subtraction).
- Only **number widgets (`{{number-x}}`)** can be used in formulas.
- Non-numeric fields (like text or date) are **not supported** in formula expressions.
- Ensure all widget names used in formulas exist in the same document.
